Description Zero Dean 2023-02-08 20:07:46 UTC 
Long time digikam user. Thank you.

Feature requests for your consideration:

1. Please consider some easy visual cues for gallery sorting. For example, some icons at the top of the thumbnail viewer that allow users to quickly and easily change the sort order to items. This would be much more efficient than having to go to the view menu each time.

2. Please consider having a small reserved or toggleable space/window specifically for starred/rated items. This way I can browse a main gallery and also see which items have also been rated. Currently sorting by rated throws off the sorting every time you add a new item to the rated items. I would like to be able to see thumbnails of rated items while also being able to browse unrated items (and rate them). Being able to see both at the same time would be a huge time saver.

3. Also, this bug-tracking system is horrendously complicated especially for someone who just wants to submit a feature request.

1. The item sorting menu can be placed on the toolbar.
2. I don't quite understand the desired workflow.

A mockup of a "dual gallery/window" setup allowing users to see a separate gallery of rated items from that particular folder/gallery.

If you're familiar with Blender, it would be like being able to add an additional viewport.
